5.3. Commands and Properties for the AM/SW/LW Receiver
(Si4730/31/34/35/36/37/40/41/42/43/44/45)
AM (Medium Wave), SW (Short Wave), and LW (Long Wave) use the same AM_SW_LW component, thus the
commands and properties for these functions are the same. For simplicity reason, the commands and properties
only have a prefix AM instead of AM_SW_LW. The main difference among AM, SW, and LW is on the frequency
range.
The common frequency range and spacing for AM/SW/LW are:
SW
2.3 MHz to 23 MHz in 5 kHz frequency spacing
AM in US
520 kHz to 1.71 MHz in 10kHz frequency spacing
AM in Asia
522 kHz to 1.71 MHz in 9kHz frequency spacing
LW
153 kHz to 279 kHz in 9 kHz frequency spacing
Tables 12 and 13 summarize the commands and properties for the AM/SW/LW Receiver components applicable to
Si473x/4x.
